I'm not super familiar with Algol but it seems that this function is not using call-by-value? In most of the translations the parameters to A are functions instead of reals. Is this call by name or call by reference? And how would call by value look like in Algol?

Call by name.

  Do you know if there a way to specify that a parameter should be passed using call-by-value?

    Function parameters can be declared ‘value’.
